Hi Cindy,
I have spoken to Rheumy and we are going to see how it goes between now and seeing her on the 26th. It has settled down a bit now hand still feels numb but the worst of the pain has gone at the moment. I had my last MRI in Jan 2009 I can only have an open one now as they wont be able to get me in and even if they do I won be able to take the pain. The Radiologist told me to refuse any more closed MRIs because of the pain. I have seen a neurosurgeon in London when I had the last MRI and would have to go there again as the ones nearer to me are reluctant to treat me because my Kyphosis is so bad.
